Chapter 828 Let's settle this once and for all.
Because of her habit of more than ten years, Aunt Xue would still occasionally regard her as that timid and transparent little girl from the past, even though she had suffered a few losses in front of her.
But at that moment, she suddenly felt that Lu Shuyu in front of her had become terrifying.
She couldn't help but want to shrink back, but she couldn't move and could only stare at her with wide eyes.
Shu Yu laughed, "You were so cruel to me back then, didn't you ever think you'd end up like this? Is your arm sore? Are you hungry? Is there no way out for you? Look, you've experienced everything I've been through. It's fair."
"I originally thought that you should live like this for the rest of your life, after all, I've lived this kind of life for so many years, haven't I? It's a pity that I'm leaving now, and we probably won't see each other again. I was thinking that before I leave, I should settle our scores from the past ten years or so, right?"
A clean break?
Aunt Xue's eyes widened in terror, and her lips trembled. "You...you want to kill me?"
She shook her head immediately, "No, no, you can't kill me." She gripped her skirt tightly, "You've only just been made a village lady. If you kill me, everyone will think you're ruthless. So many eyes are on you now, you can't kill me."
Shu Yu found it amusing. "Why are you so nervous? I didn't even say I was going to end it myself."
What do you mean?
"I guess the rest of the Shu family probably don't know you've come out to find my parents."
Aunt Xue's eyes widened. She understood. Lu Shuyu wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work; she wanted to exploit the Shu family.
Shu Yu didn't want to say anything more to her. She forcefully pulled the hem of her skirt out of Aunt Xue's hand, got up, and walked towards the officials in the manor.
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then desperately turned her head and shouted, "Please let me go! I know I was wrong. I will never bother you again, and I will never come to your family again. Please let me go! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I will never do it again."
Shu Yu seemed not to hear her. She sighed and said to the two stewards of the estate, "She's probably too weak to get up. Please trouble you two to take her back to the Shu family. And please remind the Shu family to keep a closer eye on people next time. This person is becoming increasingly confused. The imperial edict already states that I have no relation to the Shu family, yet she insists that I am the Shu family's daughter, saying that if I can be released without charge, the Shu family can too."
She shook her head as she spoke, "It's fine if she says it to me, but if word gets out, people will think the Shu family has some kind of dissatisfaction with the Emperor's decree. The Shu family is still living well in exile, but if she continues to cause trouble like this, who knows what will happen to them in the future."
The two officers exchanged a glance and nodded. "You're right. Our Zhengdao Village has just received praise from the governor, so we can't afford to cause any trouble."
After they finished speaking, the two men stepped forward and lifted Aunt Xue up.
The latter wanted to speak to Shu Yu, but the two officers immediately shut him up.
The two constables were already quite displeased that she had come to the estate to cause trouble. Especially since they vaguely suspected that Wang Changdong was going to be transferred to the county town, and the estate's steward would likely be chosen from among his men. Today was their turn to be on duty, and she had to make such a fuss; what if she left a bad impression?
